Nice new thread, Arimnaes! I laughed out loud at the title, greatness
Topics to discuss:
The relative merits of different breeds of livestock as sacrifices to appease the Great Destroyer (GtF)
Pie (all varieties)
Football. As in, the kind with touchdowns and field goals.
Soccer (in your face, Europe!)
Them mage-ic crads
Custom sets
Love, sweet love
And pretty much anything else.
-Different breeds of livestock to sacrifice? Eh well... "And there, they slew the goats, and placed the bits in little pots..." - Goats for the win.
-Pie! Again! My favorite pies are blueberry and rhubarb (!).
-Also, I refuse to refer to the game where one is to kick the ball in a goal, with 11 players each (including a goalkeeper) and two halves of 45 minutes, as soccer. But I don't mind talking about it!
-Wut?
-Argh, I hope I'm finished within the end of this thread...
-:love:
I spent too long time looking up "rhubarb", so probably not 1st...
Edit:

Why am i not on the member's list? is umgenni the only one who noticed
Ups, I thought you had left (and you also said I should move your name to the friend list instead), but happy to hear you hadn't really.
Argh! *Sene realizes he can't change the first post!*
As I said right at the end of the previous thread, I was planning on throwing my hat into the ring for clan rep. But people seem to like the idea of Wuffles as rep, and I don't really care that much, so I'll just put him down as rep.
Are we going with the no leaders plan? If not, we need to decide on new leadership soon.
@Faerie Lord: Are you joining us again, then?
Admit it, it was because of the sheer awesomeness of my cards.
The relative merits of different breeds of livestock as sacrifices to appease the Great Destroyer (GtF) - sheep, cows, goats... all good. all will please the gods. the only banned sacrifices are pig and skunk
Pie (all varieties) - go go pecan pie!!! and key lime pie too...
Football. As in, the kind with touchdowns and field goals. - as i knew would happen, my team, the eternally-disappointing new york jets, blew their first-round playoff game against the new england patriots...
Soccer (in your face, Europe!) - soccer? what's that?
Them mage-ic crads - i don't like the new akroma so much, nor the green ball lightning. but i like most else i've seen, so hopefully they are just previewing a few sucky cards now to warm us up.
Custom sets - waiting patiently for some playtesting, dude...
Love, sweet love - is only a good thing!
And pretty much anything else.
added my answers in above.
anything else, i already covered earlier. i have a talk show tonight to prepare for...
*edit* that took too long, i have things to reply to now...

Did you want to enter too GoC or not?
ALSO, ADD ME TO THE MEMBERS' LIST DAMNIT!
EDIT: Nemcon must post in these next 100 posts (until post 108) to claim his prize. If he doesnt, it is rolled again without him in the ballot. Agreed?
Clan contest, people! Look at the decklist and decide which are the most worthy of our votes.
At once, sir! I shall edit with the clan I vote for. Edit: I vote Greek Alliance. Edit2: We're doing two votes? ARD then.

I'm voting no leaders. I think we can do without one, and just Wuffles as our clan rep.

I agree with this as well. He'll probably do it, but if he doesn't, it shows that he isn't active enough here to make the thread... Which only active members should be allowed to. But as I said, he'll probably post here before that...
First of all, I must say that I am SO glad that this mess is worked out, I chose to stay out of it for some reasons, but whatever, its long gone now;)
And second, I was also VERY glad when i saw Magic Mage's comment on wanting to invite me to the clan:dance:, i was pretty exited to be honest, and ive got to say, Magic Mage::heart: and for you!:D I hope this will be considered, as i have now learned to spell MAYBE the right way my friend;)
Happy new thread everyone, good luck in "Teh Futr"!:D
Edit: Omg, that was a LOT of smilyfaces, allmost to "teenager-ish". Um, whatever anyway.
-Different breeds of livestock to sacrifice? Eh well... "And there, they slew the goats, and placed the bits in little pots..." - Goats for the win.
I need no goats! I demand Hell Vanguards! And Shadow Cats!
Quote from Umgenni Kemo »
The relative merits of different breeds of livestock as sacrifices to appease the Great Destroyer (GtF) - what our options? cows? sheep? chickens? merfolk? better to wait and hear what the Great Destroyer would like best.
The Great Destroyer would appreciate a bit of cocoa beans, as well as the occasional viashino and sliver.
@ Clan rep: I'd be happy with Wuffles, but if he is not too willing, please remember that Arimnaes and Sephiroth have volunteered too. A vote, perhaps? Oh, Moxman volunteered too, but I would rather see someone who is more consistently active in that position, as Moxman returned to us only recently.
Also, if you don't want to be a clan representative, how about Moxman?
I'd be willing (and wanting) to do it. Mainly because I posted in the clan council alot before nan banned me.
But I'd really enjoy being rep this time around.
But, seriously, if I forget, I fully expect the clan leader (Arimnaes/HC/I don't care as long as he owns me in a 1 on 1 mafia game ^_^, I think - Moxy, you're getting less and less annoying, in fact, I am starting to enjoy reading your posts, now that your obsessive TFE-barning is out of the way - but I don't think Card Player Salvation is quite ready for a clan led by MoxMan :p. Third time's a charm? <3) to sub in for me.
So not posting at sally or getting retarded from talking to TFE these past few months did turn out to be a good thing.
And i think no leaders should be the good idea. If someone goes bitter and he wont be go back to normal he will be kicked. Obviously, i have no voice though...or do I?
I'm 100% with this idea. Ofcourse I didn't mention this awhile back.
As long as Charlie doesn't go nan-hunting anymore - I cannot emphasise enough - nan did NOT give those warnings out of spite.
I don't want to start arguing about Nan anymore, but I just want to say: I don't think I've really Nan-hunted at all recently. I still feel the same way, but I don't think there's any way to change anything, so I'm pretty much pleading "no-contest", and dealing with it.
Late ed: Um, could gomp. be a member already, even without the 499 posts? He seems like a great guy, from what I've seen, and I'm sure you're already convinced.
I do believe that he'll be a good member, but I oppose this. We were already sort of bending the (unofficial) rules by friending him, but I think we should keep the concept of the clan-- members have 499 posts to be members. That said, I look forward to the time when Gomp becomes a full member.
As I said right at the end of the previous thread, I was planning on throwing my hat into the ring for clan rep. But people seem to like the idea of Wuffles as rep, and I don't really care that much, so I'll just put him down as rep.
I'm fine with either, so if you do want to go into the running, I'm be fine with it.
Welcome back, Jen! And I'm very fine with you as our clan representative, Wuffles. First post is updated.
Thank you very much, Sene, but I think I may undergo a phase of clan-hopping.^_^ Or not.
Congratulations, Wuffles.:)
I'm happy with it, I'll tell him... But before that, he must learn how to spell maybe...
@gomp: M - A - Y - B - E
Sure, I for one would be glad for gomp. to join as a member, even without the 499 post requirement; anyhow, spelling isn't that big a deal, as long as it's all understandable. Spelling, grammar, syntax, and conventions shouldn't serve to be an impediment.
Oh, yeah, as long as it's not against the Forum Rules, too.
Also it's origin? I have no clue - it has never been his nickname or anything... I remember I asked why he called himself gomp once, and he replyed with something like "It was a long time ago...."
So, you are gomp. are pretty close, I suppose, Sene?
I really should visit Norway soon.
I'll try not to... I'm glad we now can cut away the 's', though I do hope FL will come back too. He was a great and funny member, and I liked his posts, except for this outburst.
I guess we can cut away the "s" in "leavings"; in fact, I would like that whole statement about the leavings to be null and void soon, when Faerie Lord comes back.
Pwease?:suckup:
I think KK seems like a nice member, so I don't see why I should care about what clan he's in. He's a good friend of us, in any case
KK is a nice member indeed; although, he hasn't dropped by in a while. I miss him.
Edit: 1 question. What exactly is this "The Gutter" that everyone talks about? I associate it with KCW, but apart from that I know nothing...
Hrm, I guess you do know about this "The Gutter", then.
i'm also cool with gomp. getting early membership... though i worry that giving early membership sort of defeats the whole idea of [499]... you know? i trust that gomp. will be a good friend to this clan until he reaches 499 posts, and a good member whenever... so what will be, will be, and that's fine with me.
That's pretty much how I think about this; he's a good friend/member of the Coffeehouse, a overclan which most of the members here frequent, and so I think he'll be quite a member here, too!:)
i also agree that a new thread should be started as soon as possible; let's put the hate and anger in the past where it belongs. we're almost at 1,000 anyway.
I agree, but by quoting this, I think I may be culpable of enlivening that thread.
I'm fine with both of you, but since Wuffles has already been appointed, I think it's really up to him... So Wuffles, do you want Sephiroth Owa to be the rep instead of you?
Already appointed? Maybe we should all have unique, titular monikers.
Okay, okay, okay. I understand that I really don't want to know... But I don't understand it, people seem to be so unfriendly there? Are the forum rules ineffective there?
Well, firstly, there's something on the Wiki, I believe.:)
Forum Rules ineffective? Well, they're not ineffective, but they sure are not effective, meaning that there aren't any, really.
Though, I believe there are still rules...no snuff, no child, and...
Sort of it does, but I'd say it's a little emergency... We need new members to keep the clan healthy, especially after what's just happened. But then again, I'm not exactly objective
Well, a change in the members can be for the better or worse; I feel that having gomp. aboard is for the better!^_^ But, this is only just another opinion.
Erm... Due to severe circumstances over the last few weeks, I haven't been around much... Which has now changed. Hence, I was unaware of such leavings... Where has he gone?
Well, this extenuates everything a bit, but it's still a bit difficult and touchy to explain at the moment; hopefully, one day we may look back at this, and only laugh at this.
Correct sir. People don't like other people there. Also, don't post there for months.
Well, it's a hidden forum, as kcw, the leader of that 'ungodly' place, has explained in the open forums a couple of times; the number is 93, but is only accessible to those who have a "The Gutter" membership. I personally do not recommend it, lest you want to get upset. You can ask the few members who have posted there, who are also in this clan, about their experiences, for further acquaintance about it, or even join it, but do heed me when I say that it's not that great a place.
Quote from Spanish The Emerger »
I will unhappily admit that the staff made the Gutter so that, in theory, instead of having the stupidity leak out into public it would be contained.
Oh, and if you do get membership to The Grrrrr, it's best not to post there as soon as possible, if at all.:)
I hope that helps.
Not to another clan, if that's what you mean. I think he'll still be here some, but not as a member, only as a friend... He chose to leave a few pages ago (page 62 and on), but I don't really want to talk about it, we have to get over it... Which it seems like we have done now.
You use 15-posts-per-page viewing? It might be a bit irritating; there's a function in The Options page in the User CP that allows you to select the number of posts per page you view with.
But why? Are there just a group of 8-10 elitists that feel they are kings of this forum (wheey! :rolleyes:), that flame everyone else trying to talk with them in the forum? Well, in that case, I don't want to have anything to do with them, and I don't care about them either.
How on earth do you know the fundamentals of that forum, Sene?:confused:
Gimmick account?
No no its not that at all. I was just becoming bitter...too much lemon juice and all.
Base! Antacid!
I hope that you're no longer becoming bitter and being bitter.:)
OMG!!!!ELEVENTY!!!
I agree with your statement 100% (even though i nominated you)
No no, MM isnt leaving...
The "isn't" was a "was", though.
And i think no leaders should be the good idea. If someone goes bitter and he wont be go back to normal he will be kicked. Obviously, i have no voice though...or do I?
You have a voice, for sure.
nan is a good guy. Even though he said no
No to your friendship application?:eyebrow:
And a global of another site which you might have forgotten
What on this globe are you two talking about?
I disagree with membering gomp. That will ruin the theme 499. And the gutter is not the gutter.
Huh?
Fine, what say you about membering gomp., when he has 499 posts, then?:rolleyes:
Maybe [499] should become elitist too, and not just in posts.
I still cannot believe I did not know the reasons of ... never mind.:-/
Anyways yeah I found no better clan than this, and i actually was in a bad mood this weekend. I might join back. Or not...
Um, sure; that explains it all then.
Welcome back, compliments form another newb member to this clan.:)
Also, its good to hear that a fellow *********ex izzet-member is clan rep May you endure
What the hell? Did...
What...
The...
*???
Is that truly what you think of Adam, Johnathon?
I love it when long-defunct clans get "reborn from the ashes".:dance:
Representative, sure. I'd like a crack at improving our image, not that we should concern ourselves overmuch with how other clans judge us.
So, arimnaes is in the running now!:D
I wouldn't dream of it, m'dear.
Thank you. *Mwah.*
Quote from arimnaes, talking about god of cyanide"s teaching of a Egyptian bro and sis combo »
That kind of thing is what makes it all worthwhile, eh my friend?
It must be quite pleasing to teach such adorable kids, god of cyanide; teaching is quite a rewarding job, but it all depends on what type of students you get, and what kind of person you are.
You must be doing something right.
god is always doing something right!:p
Thanks everyone who responded to my cards. I'm going to try to be a little less compulsive about finding pictures for all of them so that I can get some actual… y'know, design work done.
No problem.:) Thanks for creating such beaut cards.
And drat, it appears that overnight, Wuffles has sneaked into the rep position. My plans for world domination have been foiled!
Ah, yes, but shall we do this democratically or shall we acquiesce to e-military coups?
I'll put up the new thread today, and I'll PM the mods to let them know that this one is done.
Perhaps we should start doing actual votes for membership?
Sounds good to me.
She came back a few posts after mine, so... Yes, I know
Hrm, necroed clans, other clans, this clan; all viable options.
I'll stick here for a sojourn, then.:)
No leaders? I suppose we could try it, we don't really have any leader at the moment, and we can keep it that way, and appont new leaders if we feel we should.
There are other clans that are leaderless, such as "that one", RBS, and ... to-be [499].
As I have already stated, feel free to come back, FL. Nobody wanted you to leave in the first place... At the very least, keep visiting us.
Ok, I just lost the long post I was typing up, so I'll summarize:
Such a shame, because that post was surely the upshot of yet another stroke of genius, for our genius.:p
@ Magic Mage & Faerie Lord: Welcome back.
Thank you.
@ Magic Mage: It's called Gdańsk now; Danzig is an ugly German name.
Yes, I acknowledge that ugly German name Danzig is now known correctly as Gdańsk.:p
@ Magic Mage: I'm sorry if I have offended you, I didn't mean you were bad as a leader; I think you have stepped down officially before that post, and anyway it seems that a leader was not a job you were too happy to do... Sorry again.
No matter there, Jędrzej.:)
@ Leader: I want to be led! So... god of cyanide for the leader, as he managed to prove his wisdom and leadership skills recently.
Quoted for veracity; oh, and you would make a brilliant co-honcho, by the way.
@ Clan rep: I'd be happy with Wuffles, but if he is not too willing, please remember that Arimnaes and Sephiroth have volunteered too. A vote, perhaps? Oh, Moxman volunteered too, but I would rather see someone who is more consistently active in that position, as Moxman returned to us only recently.
I'd like the vote.
@ Clan contest: We need to determine who to vote for, remember.
That's right; two votes per person.
@ Moxman: Hmm... Maybe you're right that people shouldn't care about it if you're an "immature little prick" on the Internet, but don't you think that perhaps the world would be a nicer place in general if people behave properly wherever they go?
Again, another perceptual post.;)
@ god of cyanide: The story about the student is awesome... but unfortunately, you'd have to kill him, since he knows your real name.
Um, well, R...oops, uh-oh...
Well, god's circumspect about his name ... um, just like his face, merely overhearing his name is lethal.
@ End of drama: I hope we all have learned something valuable and the will enter make the new thread be a fresh start for us all. I look forward to it, as soon as we get to 1,000 that is. Tradition must be upheld.
When do other clans start new threads?
Maybe this is a reason to why nan has contempt towards [499].:(
@ Arimnaes:
So rather than PM the mods, you should report the thread, I think. Also, I seem to remember that they wished that only one person from the clan was to do it everytime a new thread appears... previously Wessel had that job, so if you (or anyone else) wants to do it in his stead from now on, please do.
Maybe, everyone in this clan should have responsibilities, so to level the burden of maintenance?
I did not intend to use burden, as to connote anything.
And I took so long to type that post in the last thread... Now no one will read it anyway.
I'm sowwy; I've read all these posts, and I'm responding to each and every post...
Yay, first page!
It's improbable not on the first page. Oh, and yes, Adam, that is a double negative.>.>
Awesome title, and good to see we're a Druidic Cult now. I don't remember disposing of any goats, but oh well, can't say I don't approve of a sacrifice here and there. Hope we get to have sun fun climbing up trees and cutting mistletoe with sharp sickles.
Well...oh...ah...
And pretty much anything else. - Titles!
Yes?
Glam is still the leader (?); no, it appears we are now leaderless; we'll see how it works out
Glam is the leader, but he did say that we're more or less leaderless.
Wuffles is the new rep
Sure; he'll do a mighty fine job, but he's got big shoes to fill; those of Faerie Lord's.
Arimnaes is the new thread reporter.
As is with the above.:)
Thanks Wuffles, Glam, and arimnaes.
Clan contest, people! Look at the decklist and decide which are the most worthy of our votes.
As I said right at the end of the previous thread, I was planning on throwing my hat into the ring for clan rep. But people seem to like the idea of Wuffles as rep, and I don't really care that much, so I'll just put him down as rep.
So, more candidates.
Are we going with the no leaders plan? If not, we need to decide on new leadership soon.
Well, how about we have back-ups or stand-ins, so to avoid some incredible catastrophe of some sort?
@Faerie Lord: Are you joining us again, then?
Apparently, yes.
Admit it, it was because of the sheer awesomeness of my cards.
They're pretty awesome, but I think there's more to it than that.
AND WAIT. Since you do want to enter a ballot...i think we have another votation coming up
Vote.
Did you want to enter too GoC or not?
god?
Also, i love the goat saccing line
That's so Celtic, nay?
ALSO, ADD ME TO THE MEMBERS' LIST DAMNIT!
Good to see you're back.
EDIT: Nemcon must post in these next 100 posts (until post 108) to claim his prize. If he doesnt, it is rolled again without him in the ballot. Agreed?
First of all, I must say that I am SO glad that this mess is worked out, I chose to stay out of it for some reasons, but whatever, its long gone now;)
Me too.
And second, I was also VERY glad when i saw Magic Mage's comment on wanting to invite me to the clan:dance:, i was pretty exited to be honest, and ive got to say, Magic Mage::heart: and for you!:D I hope this will be considered, as i have now learned to spell MAYBE the right way my friend;)
Thanks, gomp. I'm flattered by this effusiveness.:)
Happy new thread everyone, good luck in "Teh Futr"!:D
Thank you, gomp.:)
Edit: Omg, that was a LOT of smilyfaces, allmost to "teenager-ish". Um, whatever anyway.
Teenager-ish, maybe, but we're all still pretty young, gomp.:)
Anyway, here's the mandatory 'topics to discuss about' topics discussion.
The relative merits of different breeds of livestock as sacrifices to appease the Great Destroyer (GtF) - We should sacrifice to random.org too, since I get random.org'd out in most things I try to get in.
Pie (all varieties) - Wuffles is the connoisseur, I believe.
Football. As in, the kind with touchdowns and field goals. - Umm..
Soccer (in your face, Europe!) - I haven't played soccer in a while. New competition will start in a few week though
Them mage-ic crads - What's with them?
Custom sets - I'm still nowhere near finishing my set. I guess good work needs time, 'eh.
Love, sweet love -
I don't want to start arguing about Nan anymore, but I just want to say: I don't think I've really Nan-hunted at all recently. I still feel the same way, but I don't think there's any way to change anything, so I'm pretty much pleading "no-contest", and dealing with it.
nan-hunting. Has the hunter become the hunted, or has the hunted become the hunter?
In any case, it's quite a whimsical term; nan-hunting.
Again, I hope you're joking. Why would you not stay here?
Why of course, I'm joking.
I do believe that he'll be a good member, but I oppose this. We were already sort of bending the (unofficial) rules by friending him, but I think we should keep the concept of the clan-- members have 499 posts to be members. That said, I look forward to the time when Gomp becomes a full member.
Which sections of the rules are we flouting?
We're now allowed to talk about it. Basically, a bunch of people get together and curse/influence forum politics.
Hah, that's pretty much The Gutter.
Charlie, when did you join?
I'm fine with either, so if you do want to go into the running, I'm be fine with it.
Good idea.
Don't know. We don't need one, but if everybody wants to, then let's have them submit choices.
Or, of course, we could just keep Glamdring_the_Foehammer as leader, who everybody seems to have forgotten about.
Oh, and god of cyanide, does that mean you have to kill me, because I know your name?
yeah, i'm on the next plane to australia. see you soon!
it's easily deducible by examining my sig, and maybe moving your fingers while mousing around. in any case, i don't care if people know; i just prefer to not have it used on here. on aim/msn/yahoo, i don't mind.
Well, it's a hidden forum, as kcw, the leader of that 'ungodly' place, has explained in the open forums a couple of times; the number is 93, but is only accessible to those who have a "The Gutter" membership. I personally do not recommend it, lest you want to get upset. You can ask the few members who have posted there, who are also in this clan, about their experiences, for further acquaintance about it, or even join it, but do heed me when I say that it's not that great a place.
Oh, and if you do get membership to The Grrrrr, it's best not to post there as soon as possible, if at all.:)
I hope that helps.
sounds like a really sad and lame place. a forum for talking smack about people in another forum. bo-o-o-o-ring. i can't see what they could do there that could be so harmful to someone, and why they would waste their energies doing so is beyond my comprehension.
Just what are you imply, sagacious solon?:raise:
just that i had a feeling there would be some sort of "sworn to secrecy" crap, like, "the first rule of 'the gutter' is we do not speak of 'the gutter'" or some other corny adaptation of "fight club" rules. seems like the kind of thing it would be, and it seems almost like it is.
it's rather depressing to know that it even exists.
Fine, what say you about membering gomp., when he has 499 posts, then?:rolleyes:
Maybe [499] should become elitist too, and not just in posts.
actually, i thought the whole idea of [499] was very democratic, and non-elitist. there was just one small requirement - post count, and not a high one. i'd probably have been able to hit the number sooner if i friended here, but i didn't think of that then
but, it is the one requirement we place on membership. we don't really have to know you so much, but you're OK here if you can be a decent poster and a good person. i'm sure, when i came around, some of you were thinking, "who?"; others maybe more like, "oh noez, he found this place!"
as i mentioned previously, though, if an exception were to be made, i wouldn't have a problem with it being for gomp. i am just being a man of principle...
It must be quite pleasing to teach such adorable kids, god of cyanide; teaching is quite a rewarding job, but it all depends on what type of students you get, and what kind of person you are.
i find that younger students are more interested in impressing their instructors. the desire to do so fades over time in many students, quite possibly having to do with all the changes the teen years bring...
i had an interesting experience teaching a high-school class once, when i was in college taking my classes. the school was 97% black (and 2% hispanic!); during one class, a girl got up, saying, "we don't have to listen to you, you're just some white, long haired guy who doesn't know anything about us." unfortunately, we weren't in brooklyn... which worked out for me, because they had no idea that's where i was from! once i showed them i wasn't just some random clueless fool, the rest of my time there was smooth as silk.
though, i realized from that experience that teachers make miserable co-workers...
god is always doing something right!:p
my girlfriend would probably disagree with you...
Ah, yes, but shall we do this democratically or shall we acquiesce to e-military coups?
i like that one. i think we should vote for clan rep, and co-leader, if we so desire to have one.
Um, well, R...oops, uh-oh...
Well, god's circumspect about his name ... um, just like his face, merely overhearing his name is lethal.
hey... careful there, jen hehehe
the lethality of my face, i guess, explains my scrubbing out in mr. salvation months back. but i added a pic of my ugly mug to my profile page here; i'll surely be adding some to my extendo before my next update. pics of my tattoos are already buried in that thread there (if the thread, itself, is not buried... ).
Teenager-ish, maybe, but we're all still pretty young, gomp.:)
well, i look young, and i think young, for whatever that counts for... and i like the smilies too. so there
So, there's Charlie, arimnaes, Wuffles, Moxman, god, and...
I know I'm forgetting someone.
if that list is for clan rep, not me. clan leader, i'm in for. clan rep... eh, not so much.
and you are forgetting sephiroth there
my show went alright tonight. a little slow, except when we were abusing exxon/mobil for funding multiple organizations hiring the same people to debunk global warming theories. it should be up as a podcast after i wake up next.

it's easily deducible by examining my sig, and maybe moving your fingers while mousing around. in any case, i don't care if people know; i just prefer to not have it used on here. on aim/msn/yahoo, i don't mind.
Okay then. I'm not sure if people know about your surname, though.
Quote from god of cyanide »
sounds like a really sad and lame place. a forum for talking smack about people in another forum. bo-o-o-o-ring. i can't see what they could do there that could be so harmful to someone, and why they would waste their energies doing so is beyond my comprehension.
Well, it's where webbie hangs out; it's his domain, and it's more or less blogging.
Cynical, contemptuous blogging.
just that i had a feeling there would be some sort of "sworn to secrecy" crap, like, "the first rule of 'the gutter' is we do not speak of 'the gutter'" or some other corny adaptation of "fight club" rules. seems like the kind of thing it would be, and it seems almost like it is.
it's rather depressing to know that it even exists.
Oh noes, it's the Harvard Bones Org.:o
actually, i thought the whole idea of [499] was very democratic, and non-elitist. there was just one small requirement - post count, and not a high one. i'd probably have been able to hit the number sooner if i friended here, but i didn't think of that then
but, it is the one requirement we place on membership. we don't really have to know you so much, but you're OK here if you can be a decent poster and a good person. i'm sure, when i came around, some of you were thinking, "who?"; others maybe more like, "oh noez, he found this place!"
as i mentioned previously, though, if an exception were to be made, i wouldn't have a problem with it being for gomp. i am just being a man of principle...
Well, you joined about half a year prior to this clan's establishment, but, yes, you're post count would have skyrocketed; also, custom Sets and Cards is also another way to up your post count.
i find that younger students are more interested in impressing their instructors. the desire to do so fades over time in many students, quite possibly having to do with all the changes the teen years bring...
i had an interesting experience teaching a high-school class once, when i was in college taking my classes. the school was 97% black (and 2% hispanic!); during one class, a girl got up, saying, "we don't have to listen to you, you're just some white, long haired guy who doesn't know anything about us." unfortunately, we weren't in brooklyn... which worked out for me, because they had no idea that's where i was from! once i showed them i wasn't just some random clueless fool, the rest of my time there was smooth as silk.
though, i realized from that experience that teachers make miserable co-workers...
I must say that I concur on your first paragraph, but I work under different conditions when I tutor; I tutor kids who are about to undertake the greatest test of their lives - this test is similar to the A level in Great Britain; I don't know about the American equivalent though, but I'm guessing it's the SAT's.
As for your second point, you're Italian, yes? White? Hey, what's wrong with that?
High-schoolers can be so ruthless, and I often hear this sentiment resounded by teachers of all demographics.
Quote from Jen »
god is always doing something right!:p
my girlfriend would probably disagree with you...
Well, I can only hope that god lives up to his namesake.;)
Yeah, we girls can be pretty tight on you guys; this, however, is a generalization that I hear, and I have yet to experience the feeling that we all long for, love.
i like that one. i think we should vote for clan rep, and co-leader, if we so desire to have one.
Amen! I heartily concur on that.
hey... careful there, jen hehehe
:banghead:
Oh, good people, uh... god of cyanide's real name is Ravi... wait, it's Ryan...
or was it Roderick?:confused:
Sorry if I name-dropped your name. I can empathize with you if I did do thus.
the lethality of my face, i guess, explains my scrubbing out in mr. salvation months back. but i added a pic of my ugly mug to my profile page here; i'll surely be adding some to my extendo before my next update. pics of my tattoos are already buried in that thread there (if the thread, itself, is not buried... ).
Well, being the Almighty God, it is said that should we look at you, we are blinded by your brilliance! Well, I'm more or less a soft agnostic (meaning that I accept God as a being, but I do not worship him, her, it, or whatever God's pronoun happens to be), so I cannot relate to religion, as much as most of you; I was a Christian, though. Which Christianity? Well, I think it's Protestantism/Church of England... Most of the nation is that.
Again, I'm not an invader of this land, one of those Anglo-Saxons convicts.
well, i look young, and i think young, for whatever that counts for... and i like the smilies too. so there
Well, you're definitely articulate, developed, and mature, god of cyanide; you do look young, but not too young - I'm just trying to convey that you look handsome, and young, but not in a negative sense. <Smiley face here.>
if that list is for clan rep, not me. clan leader, i'm in for. clan rep... eh, not so much.
and you are forgetting sephiroth there
Ah, okay then. Oh, I just listed the aspirants for any position in this clan, whether it be a leader or the rep. Yes, I did overlook, due to absent-mindedness, our one-winged angel, Sephiroth. Yep, okay, so it's settled on who's to be in this ballot, nay?
my show went alright tonight. a little slow, except when we were abusing exxon/mobil for funding multiple organizations hiring the same people to debunk global warming theories. it should be up as a podcast after i wake up next.
Oh, and isn't this yet another way we can know more about yourself, unless you, like, use god of cyanide or an alias?^_^
Well, I'll try to make an effort in listening/watching this podcast, but I doubt I can view it with a 28.8Kb connection.:glee: Though, I'll try to view it.:)
This is good.
*Wuffles_II, your demon-god, withdraws from the race for clan rep*
Arim, Seph, Jen, you guys can have it.
What? I'm not running for anything! Save the 2008 Elections...:sneaky: All vote for Hillary...
Wha-o-t?
Wuffles, do your nation proud, we want YOU as the clan rep!
???
Adam, I'd like for you to be in the running. Please reconsider your actions.:suckup:
So no-one likes the idea of me having any influence? That makes me sad
It's not like that, Seph But we can't have four clan reps, can we? But we can do like many have suggested, vote for the representative.
Quote from Hunted Charlie »
I sincerely hope this was a joke. Of course we don't blame you! And if you leave, then... I'll be angry. And you wouldn't like that, would you.
Glad to hear that, mate. And no, I wasn't joking
Quote from Hunted Charlie »
Or, of course, we could just keep Glamdring_the_Foehammer as leader, who everybody seems to have forgotten about.
I haven't... But I do believe he talked about giving his position to another member, since he didn't think he was going to be very active in the time that comes. But he intended to reclaim his position when he come back.
Quote from Magic Mage »
So, you are gomp. are pretty close, I suppose, Sene?
I really should visit Norway soon.
To put it that way, we do give eachother presents for Christmas. So yes, I suppose so. Even though he is 3 years younger than me. But why should that matter, anyway? Visit Norway? You're welcome!
Quote from Magic Mage »
Well, firstly, there's something on the Wiki, I believe.:-)
No. Or actually, yes, but that article reads: "The Gutter does not exist. Anyone who says otherwise is lying. You did not read this page."
Quote from Magic Mage »
You use 15-posts-per-page viewing? It might be a bit irritating; there's a function in The Options page in the User CP that allows you to select the number of posts per page you view with.
I do, and I'm happy with it. But then again, my internet connection is really slow, so anything more would take too long.
Quote from Magic Mage »
How on earth do you know the fundamentals of that forum, Sene?:confused:
Gimmick account?
Ever been on Essential Magic?
I don't have time to quote anymore now, I got to go to my class...
Phew, there are actually going to be people running against me for rep.
This is good.
*Wuffles_II, your demon-god, withdraws from the race for clan rep*
Arim, Seph, Jen, you guys can have it.
Are you doing that because you don't want the position, or because Arimnaes/Sephiroth Owa/Moxman want it?
Quote from Magic Mage »
Well, I'll try to make an effort in listening/watching this podcast, but I doubt I can view it with a 28.8Kb connection.:glee: Though, I'll try to view it.:-)
28.8Kb connection? What? That's about what I had back in 1996! I think that I now have somewhere around 2Mb.
Quote from Magic Mage »
Wuffles, do your nation proud, we want YOU as the clan rep!
???
Adam, I'd like for you to be in the running. Please reconsider your actions.:suckup:
I'm convinced that Wuffles would do a great job as a clan rep, but we have a little dilemma here... Again, five members can't be representatives, but all the "candidates" are good ones, probably.
Quote from Sephiroth Owa »
Does someone want to make a thread with a poll?
You vs. Arimnaes? 'Aight, but honestly, I think it's better that we remain anonymous, but if we create a poll where the usernames don't show, anyone can vote. So I suggest we'll PM a member with our votes (although then it's not completely anonymous). But if you don't mind that the votes are public, I don't mind it either.
Quote from Sephiroth Owa »
My uncle went to Norway in June. He bought me loads of dodgy copied PS2 games that didn't work Gotta love computer illiterate family members not knowing genuine things when they see them. Still, was very nice of him to think of me though, and buy them for me. He said he thought they were cheap
I have problems believing that he bought something in Norway that was cheap, I have always thought that was bordering on impossible. But when they didn't work, perhaps... New PS2 games are like $70 in Norway
Quote from Sephiroth Owa »
Edit: AAGH!! Why are the username bars at the top of posts now? It look stupid :/
What do you mean? Are the bars located differently than they were before?

I suppose we should say that the three of us can't vote, since we'd all just vote for ourselves and it'd be a wash anyway.
Send votes to Magic Mage, I guess. Good luck to my honorable opponents; I'm sure 499 will be well-served no matter who wins.

As for your second point, you're Italian, yes? White? Hey, what's wrong with that?
italian? moi? perhaps... but i am not the stereotypical brooklyn italian, obv.
High-schoolers can be so ruthless, and I often hear this sentiment resounded by teachers of all demographics.
yes, they often do lack ruth. seriously, i think it is because many of them have no worries other than petty things, and, since these are their worst worries, they treat them as if they are the most vile things in the world. in perspective, they are; however, co-existance makes perception relative to the perceiver, and all.
Well, I can only hope that god lives up to his namesake.;)

Quote from The Devil"s Dictionary, by Ambrose Bierce »
LOVE, n. A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder. This disease, like caries and many other ailments, is prevalent only among civilized races living under artificial conditions; barbarous nations breathing pure air and eating simple food enjoy immunity from its ravages. It is sometimes fatal, but more frequently to the
physician than to the patient.
for the best of us, love breaks us all but once.
however, it is a great treasure that should be valued and appreciated whenever you are fortunate enough to have any of its forms around you.
and yeah, women are hard on us, but that's because we're usually far too easygoing to take things all that hard anyway.

funny story... the day of the final was the coldsnap prerelease, if i recall correctly. my girlfriend was in greece, and my mom was on her way to italy. also, i live in a neighborhood that was (is?) predominantly italian. my girlfriend was sending me texts with score updates during the game; i was driving home from the event during the end of the game. i had heard, on a news radio station, that the game was tied, just as i approached my home. i got out of my car, and within a few seconds, i heard lots of yelling and screaming and fireworks... so i figured italy won. my mom bought me a world cup shirt from italy, too, so i feel all connected, even though, to be honest, i know little about soccer.
Well, after being off for 7 months, I have finally returned to the World of Warcraft. Don't cry, tho. I'll still post here. I'm not one of those completely obsessed people.

I was in Spain, but there were some Italians there too (although the majority was British or German)... I watched the game in an English pub. I think we were at least 50 in there. When Grosso put that last penalty, I went CRAZY (needless to say, I'm a fan of Italy), I hugged and was hugged by a lot of completely unknown people, and we were dancing in the streets, and randomly shouting out of pure joy. It was incredible.

pretty sweet! hope you got a good deal
I sure think so! I traded away a Champs Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind (the 5th or so I have gotten rid off!) and some other cards I can't remember, probably of relatively low value, and got those sweeties. Satisfied.

There's a difference between what I do (which is play WoW), and what some people do (I.E. it's their life). Honestly, WoW for me is like these forums with gameplay, not a reason to disapper off the face of the planet. And it's no different from spending all my free time playing Magic or other video games.

anyway, i want to say, in the interest of not being spammy, that i look forward to more cards from arimnaes, and more pleasurable chat with the clan!
and, sene, drop the duresses already. they don't help. turn 4 FTW every game anyway, even with resistance.
also, great title and pic, arimnaes. you've done well.
*too many edits* we probably need a leader to roll the dice to see who makes the next thread... eh?
The MirroCube - 420 card Mirrodin themed cube
And if I've offended you, I'm sorry, but maybe you need to be offended. But here's my apology and one more thing...
-Different breeds of livestock to sacrifice? Eh well... "And there, they slew the goats, and placed the bits in little pots..." - Goats for the win.
-Pie! Again! My favorite pies are blueberry and rhubarb (!).
-Also, I refuse to refer to the game where one is to kick the ball in a goal, with 11 players each (including a goalkeeper) and two halves of 45 minutes, as soccer. But I don't mind talking about it!
-Wut?
-Argh, I hope I'm finished within the end of this thread...
-:love:
I spent too long time looking up "rhubarb", so probably not 1st...
Edit:
Ups, I thought you had left (and you also said I should move your name to the friend list instead), but happy to hear you hadn't really.
Argh! *Sene realizes he can't change the first post!*
As I said right at the end of the previous thread, I was planning on throwing my hat into the ring for clan rep. But people seem to like the idea of Wuffles as rep, and I don't really care that much, so I'll just put him down as rep.
Are we going with the no leaders plan? If not, we need to decide on new leadership soon.
@Faerie Lord: Are you joining us again, then?
Admit it, it was because of the sheer awesomeness of my cards.
added my answers in above.
anything else, i already covered earlier. i have a talk show tonight to prepare for...
*edit* that took too long, i have things to reply to now...
yes; welcome back, FL!!! ; and i agree.
The MirroCube - 420 card Mirrodin themed cube
And if I've offended you, I'm sorry, but maybe you need to be offended. But here's my apology and one more thing...
At once, sir! I shall edit with the clan I vote for.
Edit: I vote Greek Alliance.
Edit2: We're doing two votes? ARD then.
Congratulations to Nemcon for getting to make the next clan thread!
I'm voting no leaders. I think we can do without one, and just Wuffles as our clan rep.
I agree with this as well. He'll probably do it, but if he doesn't, it shows that he isn't active enough here to make the thread... Which only active members should be allowed to. But as I said, he'll probably post here before that...
First of all, I must say that I am SO glad that this mess is worked out, I chose to stay out of it for some reasons, but whatever, its long gone now;)
And second, I was also VERY glad when i saw Magic Mage's comment on wanting to invite me to the clan:dance:, i was pretty exited to be honest, and ive got to say, Magic Mage::heart: and for you!:D I hope this will be considered, as i have now learned to spell MAYBE the right way my friend;)
Happy new thread everyone, good luck in "Teh Futr"!:D
Edit: Omg, that was a LOT of smilyfaces, allmost to "teenager-ish". Um, whatever anyway.
Mighty thanks to Nemcon for the banner! for you!:D
I need no goats! I demand Hell Vanguards! And Shadow Cats!
The Great Destroyer would appreciate a bit of cocoa beans, as well as the occasional viashino and sliver.
Really important guy at the [499]!
I'd be willing (and wanting) to do it. Mainly because I posted in the clan council alot before nan banned me.
But I'd really enjoy being rep this time around.
I sincerely hope this was a joke. Of course we don't blame you! And if you leave, then... I'll be angry. And you wouldn't like that, would you.
I don't want to start arguing about Nan anymore, but I just want to say: I don't think I've really Nan-hunted at all recently. I still feel the same way, but I don't think there's any way to change anything, so I'm pretty much pleading "no-contest", and dealing with it.
Again, I hope you're joking. Why would you not stay here?
I do believe that he'll be a good member, but I oppose this. We were already sort of bending the (unofficial) rules by friending him, but I think we should keep the concept of the clan-- members have 499 posts to be members. That said, I look forward to the time when Gomp becomes a full member.
We're now allowed to talk about it. Basically, a bunch of people get together and curse/influence forum politics.
I'm fine with either, so if you do want to go into the running, I'm be fine with it.
Don't know. We don't need one, but if everybody wants to, then let's have them submit choices.
Or, of course, we could just keep Glamdring_the_Foehammer as leader, who everybody seems to have forgotten about.
Does anyone else want to nominate themselves?
Thank you very much, Sene, but I think I may undergo a phase of clan-hopping.^_^ Or not.
Congratulations, Wuffles.:)
Sure, I for one would be glad for gomp. to join as a member, even without the 499 post requirement; anyhow, spelling isn't that big a deal, as long as it's all understandable. Spelling, grammar, syntax, and conventions shouldn't serve to be an impediment.
Oh, yeah, as long as it's not against the Forum Rules, too.
So, you are gomp. are pretty close, I suppose, Sene?
I really should visit Norway soon.
I guess we can cut away the "s" in "leavings"; in fact, I would like that whole statement about the leavings to be null and void soon, when Faerie Lord comes back.
Pwease?:suckup:
KK is a nice member indeed; although, he hasn't dropped by in a while. I miss him.
Hrm, I guess you do know about this "The Gutter", then.
Sure!:) I for one would be blessed to have you as the clan rep.
Why is that line becoming most clichéd, even hackneyed?:sweat:
The Gutter (the gúttər) is a subforum that deserves its own forum.
Oh, and god of cyanide, does that mean you have to kill me, because I know your name?
I'm quite surprised too.
All hail, Adam, that shall be king hereafter!
That's pretty much how I think about this; he's a good friend/member of the Coffeehouse, a overclan which most of the members here frequent, and so I think he'll be quite a member here, too!:)
I agree, but by quoting this, I think I may be culpable of enlivening that thread.
Already appointed? Maybe we should all have unique, titular monikers.
Well, firstly, there's something on the Wiki, I believe.:)
Forum Rules ineffective? Well, they're not ineffective, but they sure are not effective, meaning that there aren't any, really.
Though, I believe there are still rules...no snuff, no child, and...
Well, a change in the members can be for the better or worse; I feel that having gomp. aboard is for the better!^_^ But, this is only just another opinion.
Well, this extenuates everything a bit, but it's still a bit difficult and touchy to explain at the moment; hopefully, one day we may look back at this, and only laugh at this.
Well, it's a hidden forum, as kcw, the leader of that 'ungodly' place, has explained in the open forums a couple of times; the number is 93, but is only accessible to those who have a "The Gutter" membership. I personally do not recommend it, lest you want to get upset. You can ask the few members who have posted there, who are also in this clan, about their experiences, for further acquaintance about it, or even join it, but do heed me when I say that it's not that great a place.
I hope that helps.
You use 15-posts-per-page viewing? It might be a bit irritating; there's a function in The Options page in the User CP that allows you to select the number of posts per page you view with.
How on earth do you know the fundamentals of that forum, Sene?:confused:
Gimmick account?
Okay.
That's pretty much it, god.
Just what are you implying, sagacious solon?:raise:
Base! Antacid!
I hope that you're no longer becoming bitter and being bitter.:)
The "isn't" was a "was", though.
You have a voice, for sure.
No to your friendship application?:eyebrow:
What on this globe are you two talking about?
Huh?
Fine, what say you about membering gomp., when he has 499 posts, then?:rolleyes:
Maybe [499] should become elitist too, and not just in posts.
I still cannot believe I did not know the reasons of ... never mind.:-/
Um, sure; that explains it all then.
Welcome back, compliments form another newb member to this clan.:)
What the hell? Did...
What...
The...
*???
Is that truly what you think of Adam, Johnathon?
I love it when long-defunct clans get "reborn from the ashes".:dance:
So, arimnaes is in the running now!:D
Thank you. *Mwah.*
It must be quite pleasing to teach such adorable kids, god of cyanide; teaching is quite a rewarding job, but it all depends on what type of students you get, and what kind of person you are.
god is always doing something right!:p
No problem.:) Thanks for creating such beaut cards.
Ah, yes, but shall we do this democratically or shall we acquiesce to e-military coups?
Thanks, arimnaes. Nice title.;)
Sounds good to me.
Hrm, necroed clans, other clans, this clan; all viable options.
I'll stick here for a sojourn, then.:)
There are other clans that are leaderless, such as "that one", RBS, and ... to-be [499].
QFT.
Such a shame, because that post was surely the upshot of yet another stroke of genius, for our genius.:p
Thank you.
Yes, I acknowledge that ugly German name Danzig is now known correctly as Gdańsk.:p
No matter there, Jędrzej.:)
Quoted for veracity; oh, and you would make a brilliant co-honcho, by the way.
I'd like the vote.
That's right; two votes per person.
Again, another perceptual post.;)
Um, well, R...oops, uh-oh...
Well, god's circumspect about his name ... um, just like his face, merely overhearing his name is lethal.
When do other clans start new threads?
Maybe this is a reason to why nan has contempt towards [499].:(
Maybe, everyone in this clan should have responsibilities, so to level the burden of maintenance?
I did not intend to use burden, as to connote anything.
I've noticed, albeit only just, because I only just signed in.
Congrats on the first post. Welcome back, Faerie Lord.:)
I guess you've stuck with the winning team, then.:rolleyes:
Maybe?
I'm sowwy; I've read all these posts, and I'm responding to each and every post...
It's improbable not on the first page. Oh, and yes, Adam, that is a double negative.>.>
Well...oh...ah...
Yes?
Glam is the leader, but he did say that we're more or less leaderless.
Sure; he'll do a mighty fine job, but he's got big shoes to fill; those of Faerie Lord's.
As is with the above.:)
Thanks Wuffles, Glam, and arimnaes.
Ok, Umgenni Kemo.
Fixed for gender neutrality.
Congratulations Nemcon.
Sure.
So, more candidates.
Well, how about we have back-ups or stand-ins, so to avoid some incredible catastrophe of some sort?
Apparently, yes.
They're pretty awesome, but I think there's more to it than that.
I concur.
Vote.
god?
That's so Celtic, nay?
Good to see you're back.
Sure thing, boss.:)
Good luck with that.
Good luck with that, too.
Good choices; similar to my two, in fact, the same!:o Well, I'm not too sure on The Called deck, and I don't really know how to even play Magic...
Hammer.
Sickle.

Hi gomp.!:)
Me too.
Thanks, gomp. I'm flattered by this effusiveness.:)
Thank you, gomp.:)
Teenager-ish, maybe, but we're all still pretty young, gomp.:)
Mandatory? Hmmm...
nan-hunting. Has the hunter become the hunted, or has the hunted become the hunter?
In any case, it's quite a whimsical term; nan-hunting.
Why of course, I'm joking.
Which sections of the rules are we flouting?
Hah, that's pretty much The Gutter.
Charlie, when did you join?
Good idea.
No-ones forgotten Glam.
So, there's Charlie, arimnaes, Wuffles, Moxman, god, and...
I know I'm forgetting someone.
yeah, i'm on the next plane to australia. see you soon!
it's easily deducible by examining my sig, and maybe moving your fingers while mousing around. in any case, i don't care if people know; i just prefer to not have it used on here. on aim/msn/yahoo, i don't mind.
sounds like a really sad and lame place. a forum for talking smack about people in another forum. bo-o-o-o-ring. i can't see what they could do there that could be so harmful to someone, and why they would waste their energies doing so is beyond my comprehension.
just that i had a feeling there would be some sort of "sworn to secrecy" crap, like, "the first rule of 'the gutter' is we do not speak of 'the gutter'" or some other corny adaptation of "fight club" rules. seems like the kind of thing it would be, and it seems almost like it is.
it's rather depressing to know that it even exists.
actually, i thought the whole idea of [499] was very democratic, and non-elitist. there was just one small requirement - post count, and not a high one. i'd probably have been able to hit the number sooner if i friended here, but i didn't think of that then
but, it is the one requirement we place on membership. we don't really have to know you so much, but you're OK here if you can be a decent poster and a good person. i'm sure, when i came around, some of you were thinking, "who?"; others maybe more like, "oh noez, he found this place!"
as i mentioned previously, though, if an exception were to be made, i wouldn't have a problem with it being for gomp. i am just being a man of principle...
i find that younger students are more interested in impressing their instructors. the desire to do so fades over time in many students, quite possibly having to do with all the changes the teen years bring...
i had an interesting experience teaching a high-school class once, when i was in college taking my classes. the school was 97% black (and 2% hispanic!); during one class, a girl got up, saying, "we don't have to listen to you, you're just some white, long haired guy who doesn't know anything about us." unfortunately, we weren't in brooklyn... which worked out for me, because they had no idea that's where i was from! once i showed them i wasn't just some random clueless fool, the rest of my time there was smooth as silk.
though, i realized from that experience that teachers make miserable co-workers...
my girlfriend would probably disagree with you...
i like that one. i think we should vote for clan rep, and co-leader, if we so desire to have one.
hey... careful there, jen hehehe
the lethality of my face, i guess, explains my scrubbing out in mr. salvation months back. but i added a pic of my ugly mug to my profile page here; i'll surely be adding some to my extendo before my next update. pics of my tattoos are already buried in that thread there (if the thread, itself, is not buried... ).
well, i look young, and i think young, for whatever that counts for... and i like the smilies too. so there
if that list is for clan rep, not me. clan leader, i'm in for. clan rep... eh, not so much.
and you are forgetting sephiroth there
my show went alright tonight. a little slow, except when we were abusing exxon/mobil for funding multiple organizations hiring the same people to debunk global warming theories. it should be up as a podcast after i wake up next.

And if I've offended you, I'm sorry, but maybe you need to be offended. But here's my apology and one more thing...
This is good.
*Wuffles_II, your demon-god, withdraws from the race for clan rep*
Arim, Seph, Jen, you guys can have it.
Well, strike me down with thy thundarrr, I'll be moving to the States, then.:evillol:
Not.
So, ... never mind; how about we chat about that on MSN/Yahoo!, yea?
Okay then. I'm not sure if people know about your surname, though.
Well, it's where webbie hangs out; it's his domain, and it's more or less blogging.
Cynical, contemptuous blogging.
Oh noes, it's the Harvard Bones Org.:o
Well, you joined about half a year prior to this clan's establishment, but, yes, you're post count would have skyrocketed; also, custom Sets and Cards is also another way to up your post count.
I must say that I concur on your first paragraph, but I work under different conditions when I tutor; I tutor kids who are about to undertake the greatest test of their lives - this test is similar to the A level in Great Britain; I don't know about the American equivalent though, but I'm guessing it's the SAT's.
As for your second point, you're Italian, yes? White? Hey, what's wrong with that?
High-schoolers can be so ruthless, and I often hear this sentiment resounded by teachers of all demographics.
Well, I can only hope that god lives up to his namesake.;)
Yeah, we girls can be pretty tight on you guys; this, however, is a generalization that I hear, and I have yet to experience the feeling that we all long for, love.
Amen! I heartily concur on that.
:banghead:
Oh, good people, uh... god of cyanide's real name is Ravi... wait, it's Ryan...
or was it Roderick?:confused:
Sorry if I name-dropped your name. I can empathize with you if I did do thus.
Well, being the Almighty God, it is said that should we look at you, we are blinded by your brilliance! Well, I'm more or less a soft agnostic (meaning that I accept God as a being, but I do not worship him, her, it, or whatever God's pronoun happens to be), so I cannot relate to religion, as much as most of you; I was a Christian, though. Which Christianity? Well, I think it's Protestantism/Church of England... Most of the nation is that.
Again, I'm not an invader of this land, one of those Anglo-Saxons convicts.
Well, you're definitely articulate, developed, and mature, god of cyanide; you do look young, but not too young - I'm just trying to convey that you look handsome, and young, but not in a negative sense. <Smiley face here.>
Ah, okay then. Oh, I just listed the aspirants for any position in this clan, whether it be a leader or the rep. Yes, I did overlook, due to absent-mindedness, our one-winged angel, Sephiroth. Yep, okay, so it's settled on who's to be in this ballot, nay?
Oh, and isn't this yet another way we can know more about yourself, unless you, like, use god of cyanide or an alias?^_^
Well, I'll try to make an effort in listening/watching this podcast, but I doubt I can view it with a 28.8Kb connection.:glee: Though, I'll try to view it.:)
What? I'm not running for anything! Save the 2008 Elections...:sneaky: All vote for Hillary...
Wha-o-t?
Wuffles, do your nation proud, we want YOU as the clan rep!
???
Adam, I'd like for you to be in the running. Please reconsider your actions.:suckup:
It's not like that, Seph But we can't have four clan reps, can we? But we can do like many have suggested, vote for the representative.
Glad to hear that, mate. And no, I wasn't joking
I haven't... But I do believe he talked about giving his position to another member, since he didn't think he was going to be very active in the time that comes. But he intended to reclaim his position when he come back.
To put it that way, we do give eachother presents for Christmas. So yes, I suppose so. Even though he is 3 years younger than me. But why should that matter, anyway? Visit Norway? You're welcome!
No. Or actually, yes, but that article reads: "The Gutter does not exist. Anyone who says otherwise is lying. You did not read this page."
I do, and I'm happy with it. But then again, my internet connection is really slow, so anything more would take too long.
Ever been on Essential Magic?
I don't have time to quote anymore now, I got to go to my class...
Edit: 1,600th!
Are you doing that because you don't want the position, or because Arimnaes/Sephiroth Owa/Moxman want it?
28.8Kb connection? What? That's about what I had back in 1996! I think that I now have somewhere around 2Mb.
I'm convinced that Wuffles would do a great job as a clan rep, but we have a little dilemma here... Again, five members can't be representatives, but all the "candidates" are good ones, probably.
You vs. Arimnaes? 'Aight, but honestly, I think it's better that we remain anonymous, but if we create a poll where the usernames don't show, anyone can vote. So I suggest we'll PM a member with our votes (although then it's not completely anonymous). But if you don't mind that the votes are public, I don't mind it either.
I have problems believing that he bought something in Norway that was cheap, I have always thought that was bordering on impossible. But when they didn't work, perhaps... New PS2 games are like $70 in Norway
What do you mean? Are the bars located differently than they were before?

Latest [499] Thread
Thanks to Ye Olde Sig and Avatar Shoppe (Nex3 & R&Doom) for avatar enhancements and banner creation.
So, lady and gentlemen, cast your ballots for the next 499 Clan Rep.
I suppose we should say that the three of us can't vote, since we'd all just vote for ourselves and it'd be a wash anyway.
Send votes to Magic Mage, I guess. Good luck to my honorable opponents; I'm sure 499 will be well-served no matter who wins.
what is that/was that supposed to be?
webbie? KCW? that explains a lot about MTGS...
and i was busy posting in quick reply games, which is fun, but does nothing for my post count.
italian? moi? perhaps... but i am not the stereotypical brooklyn italian, obv.
yes, they often do lack ruth. seriously, i think it is because many of them have no worries other than petty things, and, since these are their worst worries, they treat them as if they are the most vile things in the world. in perspective, they are; however, co-existance makes perception relative to the perceiver, and all.
for the best of us, love breaks us all but once.
however, it is a great treasure that should be valued and appreciated whenever you are fortunate enough to have any of its forms around you.
and yeah, women are hard on us, but that's because we're usually far too easygoing to take things all that hard anyway.
i'm a catholic turned atheist, for what it's worth. religion is not so much an opiate for this part of the masses as a hindrance to true spiritual growth.
'tis possible...
28.8? i was on 56 up until about a year ago, so i can fully empathize with you on this.
eh i hope hillary is not the US's democratic presidential candidate. she, like her husband, will make a decent leader, but they both were, and still are, corporatists at heart. i'd much prefer someone more populist and progressive to become president.
actually, you can vote, but just don't vote for yourselves... i'm sure someone will know.
did you happen to ask if magic mage wanted her inbox flooded? anyway, if she opts out of tabulating the votes, you can send those PM's my way.
times like these are when leaders are necessary, eh?
The MirroCube - 420 card Mirrodin themed cube
And if I've offended you, I'm sorry, but maybe you need to be offended. But here's my apology and one more thing...
Ouch, I forgot both. Will do now...
Seems good to me as well. I'll pm MM with my vote as soon as she accepts this (if she does)... And good luck to you!
FORZA ITALIA!
(that was actually my banner during the World Cup and about 1 month after, only with a very large font)
Bribery, eh?
Only one thing - don't feel obligated to be online just because you said that.
Just got a Scrubland, a Dark Confidant and a Flooded Strand in the mail. Online trading feels so great sometimes...
funny story... the day of the final was the coldsnap prerelease, if i recall correctly. my girlfriend was in greece, and my mom was on her way to italy. also, i live in a neighborhood that was (is?) predominantly italian. my girlfriend was sending me texts with score updates during the game; i was driving home from the event during the end of the game. i had heard, on a news radio station, that the game was tied, just as i approached my home. i got out of my car, and within a few seconds, i heard lots of yelling and screaming and fireworks... so i figured italy won. my mom bought me a world cup shirt from italy, too, so i feel all connected, even though, to be honest, i know little about soccer.
pretty sweet! hope you got a good deal
The MirroCube - 420 card Mirrodin themed cube
And if I've offended you, I'm sorry, but maybe you need to be offended. But here's my apology and one more thing...
Sho, what's been going on since I checked our old thread yesterday? Any more drama?\
BTW, can I do the next thread?
I was in Spain, but there were some Italians there too (although the majority was British or German)... I watched the game in an English pub. I think we were at least 50 in there. When Grosso put that last penalty, I went CRAZY (needless to say, I'm a fan of Italy), I hugged and was hugged by a lot of completely unknown people, and we were dancing in the streets, and randomly shouting out of pure joy. It was incredible.
I sure think so! I traded away a Champs Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind (the 5th or so I have gotten rid off!) and some other cards I can't remember, probably of relatively low value, and got those sweeties. Satisfied.
WoW =
I've ranted so much about WoW, I don't feel like it right now... Copy/paste much...
Fear not, my good Myrf. We've returned to usual now. Both Magic Mage and Faerie Lord have rejoined, too.
It's random who'll get to make the next thread, and Nemcon won the dice roll. Perhaps next time...
There's a difference between what I do (which is play WoW), and what some people do (I.E. it's their life). Honestly, WoW for me is like these forums with gameplay, not a reason to disapper off the face of the planet. And it's no different from spending all my free time playing Magic or other video games.
